perl woes

[mauricev 2]

What could be causing this?

!!! dolib: /var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/perl-5.22.2/image//CORE/ does not exist
 * ERROR: dev-lang/perl-5.22.2::perl-kit failed (install phase):

Type "epro" and look at the "build" setting. Funtoo-stable has been deprecated and we recommend reinstall to migrate to kits.

[x48rph 0]

Hard to say other than that doesn't exist. Can't really test as all systems are on perl-5.24 since the switch to meta-repo. Can I ask why your still on 5.22? Are you still using 'stable' by chance?

[mauricev 2]

How would I know I am on stable? Should I not be on it?

[mauricev 2]

It is stable. What exactly do you mean by a "reinstall"? Do you mean reformatting the disk and starting entirely from scratch? Wouldn't it be possible to simply change the build to whatever it should be and re-emering world?

[drobbins 275]

That could potentially work, but the safest bet is a reinstall, and it may end up being less painful. It depends how much you are willing to drudge through rebuilds on an existing system.

[mauricev 2]

What determines current versus stable and how do I change it?

[drobbins 275]

It is set in /etc/portage/make.profile/parent.

Another ex-stable user here.  I don't have the option to reinstall.  The system is a VM, and the host doesn't have the space to accommodate another guest VDI built from scratch.  What can I try to get around this perl slot funk?  I'm not averse to temporary 'emerge -C' and system breakage, as I can always roll back.  Thanks.

Never mind.  I think logitechmediaserver-bin was the source of all my problems.
